The Today Show even interviewed the families of my students after the course case. (not mine, I never sued, but in Bostick vs. Clayton County (the LGBTQ work rights case) the Southern Poverty Law Center used my experience as their example of how badly things can go for an LGBTQ worker in an amicus brief.
